Conran Shop
Orrery Restaurant
Marylebone High Street
A new shop and restaurant for Sir Terence Conran.
Client: Conran Shop Holdings
Architect: CD Partnership Ltd.
A retained 19th century terracotta facade and an adjacent 6 metre strip
of structure have been cleaned and refurbished to house a Restaurant.
Behind this strip, the existing sheds and workshops were demolished for
the construction of the four storey Conran Shop.
Exposed precast concrete barrel vault slab units, of exceptional quality,
are supported on insitu concrete beams and columns cast to a high quality
finish and exposed to view throughout the building.
A high standard of detailing has also been incorporated into exposed
hollow section steelwork at roof level and to the central feature staircase
and lift structures. |
